Describe the bug Even after a fresh installation after starting the scanner it works for around 3 Seconds and than stops working. In the console i can see this error message

zxing scanner component: TypeError TypeError: Cannot read property 'stop' of undefined at zxing-ngx-scanner.js:56 at loop (BrowserCodeReader.js:1108) at BrowserMultiFormatContinuousReader.push.1M1C.BrowserCodeReader.scan (BrowserCodeReader.js:1125) at BrowserMultiFormatContinuousReader.

Having the exact same issue. Scanner worked fine until a few weeks ago, and then it suddenly stopped to work

I have the same problem, but it seems that it is working on any other browser besides of Chome. Seems like it is a Problem with Angular 11 and Chrome.

EDIT: Got the Camera running by downgrading the "@zxing/browser" and "@zxing/library" like mentioned here: https://github.com/zxing-js/ngx-scanner/issues/380#issuecomment-827356386

.... unfortunately the detection quality is very ...well ... "wobbly"...

"@zxing/browser": "0.0.7", "@zxing/library": "^0.18.3",

This may be fixed by https://github.com/zxing-js/browser/pull/53.

try "@zxing/browser": "^0.0.9", "@zxing/library": "^0.18.6", "@zxing/ngx-scanner": "^3.2.0"

It works fine with those versions
